Pit house drawing for class 6

(May 19, 2017)—In 2015, volunteers joined me in building a half-scale model of a typical dwelling from the Early Agricultural period (2000 B.C.–A.D. 50) in the Tucson Basin. We built the model near our full-scale replica Hohokam pithouse at The first farming groups in this region sheltered in such dwellings, and we have numerous excavated examples from ancient irrigation communities along the Santa Cruz River. We based our little pithouse on one Los Pozos Some excavated houses at Los Pozos and generally contemporaneous sites had burned, and archaeologists found preserved sections of thatched walls. In some cases, archaeologists were able to discern construction details and even determine what species of trees and plants people used as building materials. Our model was based on what we observed and inferred from those excavated examples. Volunteer Jaye Smith digs out the pithouse foundation. Finished pithouse We wondered how easy it was for such pithouses to burn. Was burning more likely deliberate or accidental? What happened as the structure burned, and how did that culminate in the patterns archaeologists find? In preparation for the burn, I placed objects and replica artifacts on the floor of the house. These items are representative of what archaeologists find on house floors and in sites of the same time period. Floor assemblage I made a map of the house interior and the artifact locations. This will help us in a few years when we excavate the house. We decided to sim...

The clients asked for more space, an open kitchen, and a more direct relationship to the garden. During the design process, it became apparent that there was room enough to create a second space for sitting on the ground floor if we were to extend the extension beyond the width of the house. We have created a place there where there is no television, where you can live on a different level and enjoy the outdoors. A sitting area sunk into the ground. The sitting pit forms a playful space around the fireplace, where the owners are able to stay together with each other, friends, and family. Seen at eye level from the seating pit, there is a vertically sliding window on the street side. By sliding this open (electrically) as well as the large sliding doors at the rear, you find yourself outside in a sitting pit, at a fireplace, and under a roof. The low window also provides the opportunity for children to play around the seating area. Because the seating area lies free in the space next to the house, there is now, in addition to a direct relationship with the garden, also a direct relationship to the street, which provides a new dynamic for the use of the house. The fireplace sits in a solid block that, together with a thick wall on the other side...

Curated/Reviewed by Public Historian Introduction Apit-house(or pit house, pithouse) is a large house (usually circular) built in the ground and used for shelter. [1]Besides providing shelter from the most extreme ofweather conditions, these structures may also be used to store food (just like apantry, alarder, or aroot cellar) and for cultural activities like the telling of stories, dancing, singing and celebrations. General dictionaries also describe a pit-house as a dugout, [2]and it has similarities to a half-dugout. [3] Inarchaeology, a pit-house is frequently called a sunken featured building [4][5]and occasionally (grub-)hut [6]or grubhouse, after the German name Grubenhaus [7]They are found in numerous cultures around the world, including the people of theSouthwestern United States, theancestral Pueblo, the ancientFremontandMogolloncultures, theCherokee, theInuit, the people of the Plateau, and archaic residents of Wy...
